Way way back I wrote a small script for my blackberry that updated a page on my university account with my rough location. My wife was like that’s so creepy no one will ever want that. Then four square happened. Then everything else happened. And a short while later a guy I knew showed up with his iPhone and was showing it to me. I was like wow what a dinky little device but hey at least it’s cool looking. Then iPhones became the thing to have. And also around that time I recall people talking about Facebook and I was like well MySpace is already a think who’s ever going to use this random site. And here we are today. So I’m most certainly not going to say meta verse won’t take off. I’ve been wrong about most things (bitcoin, I’m looking at you buddy).
I personally don’t see a benefit to it. I don’t want to have to wear AR goggles to attend a three hour meeting. And I don’t want to have to physically move to buy things on an online store other than just moving my mouse or scrolling.
But there’s a lot of potential there just from the gizmo aspect of it all. And I’m sure plenty of folks will see tons of value in it. If nothing else, pornhub will make a killing.
